Indonesia—captivating travelers with Bali's rich Hindu temples, volcanic cliffs, pristine surf beaches, and Ubud's lush rice terraces—is a top choice for Indian tourists. While Indonesia offers a Visa-on-Arrival at airport counters, standing in long immigration queues after a tiring flight can be exhausting. Applying for an Electronic Visa on Arrival (B1 Tourist E-Visa) beforehand lets you bypass these desks entirely and head straight to the E-Gate lanes for standard fast-track immigration clearances.
Yes! The physical Visa-on-Arrival (VOA) requires you to queue up at the payment counter upon landing, pay the IDR 500,000 fee, and then queue again at the immigration counter. The Electronic Visa on Arrival (E-VOA) is processed and paid online before departure, allowing you to bypass the payment queue entirely and scan your passport at the modern automated E-Gates.
Yes, the E-VOA (subclass B1/B211A) can be extended once for an additional 30 days, allowing a total stay of 60 days. If you entered using a pre-approved E-VOA, you can easily apply and pay for the extension online without visiting the local immigration office in Bali. Physical VOAs, however, require a local office visit.
Effective early 2024, the Bali Provincial Government mandates a tourism tax of IDR 150,000 (~INR 800) per international tourist entering Bali. It is mandatory for all foreign visitors, including children. It is highly recommended to pay this online through the official Love Bali portal before arrival to secure your entry QR code and avoid long queues at Denpasar airport.
The standard processing time is 24 to 48 hours. If you require urgent processing, we also offer express advisory services to help secure your visa in under 4 hours.
You will be strictly denied boarding at your departure airport in India. Indonesian immigration and airline counters are extremely strict: your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your exact date of entry into Indonesia. There are no exceptions.
